APPLIED TECHNOLOGY-LAKEVIEW JR. HIGH
6th Grade: They finished their rockets this week, turned them in for grading and were given their grading rubric grade sheet yesterday, Thursday. They are currently in lesson 5 working on their "Observation Log" worksheet about the planets. We should get out one day next week to fly the rockets.
7th Grade: Working on the third module. Should finish by the end of next week.
8th Grade: They are also working on the third module and should finish next week.

Cross country: The boy's team and two of the girls travel to Normal Illinios this weekend to compete in the state cross country meet. Go Spartans!!
Next Monday is the last practice and the last practice for Mr. Rodda. First, there will be a handicap race for the current runners. Slower runners get a head start and "technically" all runners should finish at the same time.
Second, there is a "Parent/Student Run" at about 4:00. The student runs a mile and then their parent will run, walk or crawl about 3/8 mile. Ribbons will be given to the top ten finishers (if there are that many).
Third, at about 4:30 there will be the "Run with Rodda". All of the team, any former runner and any of the parents are invited to run with Mr. Rodda on his final lap at Lakeview.

APPLIED TECHNOLOGY-LAKEVIEW JR. HIGH
7th and 8th grade finished their second module this week. Several of the students need to come to open lab and do make up work for things they didn't finish. Come in soon!
6th grade finished the rockets this week. I had the students take them home yesterday if they planned on spray painting them for extra credit. I gave them a shoe box to put the rocket in so the rockets don't get damaged. Have fun painting them, but be careful. You don't want to put to thick a coat on at one time. Give the rocket some time to dry before puting on a second/third coat of paint.
ROCKETS ARE DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY after the four day weekend.
